In the first book in this series, The Story of the Strange Lost Thing, George and Mac find an alien in the cliffs after a cyclone hits Mirmouth.
In this second book, Tumblagooda, George goes on a holiday with Mac and his aunty where they find an old gun and a mystery. When George and Mac venture into a mine, George thinks she can hear Tumblagooda (the alien) in the walls of the mine. They sneak back at night to try to find out more, although unfortunately they get locked in the mine, which feels pretty tense and exciting.
The worst thing about this book was the ‘to be continued’ at the end. I wanted it to keep going!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Suzanne Ingelbrecht is an author, professional playwright, director and performance-maker based in Perth, Western Australia.
She has been entertaining others since the tender age of nine when she wrote a play to cheer up her classmates during their sewing lessons…Always the drama queen, Suzanne has enjoyed honing her skills and techniques in dramatic storytelling through her plays, and now loves to pass this passion on to the next generations of storytellers and fabulous imaginers of wonder.
Now penned Tumblagooda for eight-to-10-year-olds (as well as all those who like to think they have never really grown up). And she is busy thinking about and penning books two and three in the ‘Tumblagooda’ trilogy from her custom-made Toyota Hiace Commuter van, affectionately known as Van Go, as well as other fantastical wonders of imagination. It’s all a far cry from teaching into the Creative Writing program at Curtin University, and inspiring artists with disability to follow their dreams.
